"For I will give the command,
and I will shake the house of Israel
among all the nations
as grain is shaken in a sieve,
and not a pebble will reach the ground. Amos 9:9
No matter the challenge you may face now, nothing valuable shall be lost. in other words, if anything be lost now, then it is mere chaff. There are really times when we become too heavy and are deceived to believe that we are growing. Just wait until we are brought to God's threshing floor; it is then we begin to see that our so-called growth is only an excess luggage that will not allow us move to the next level. So God employs the services of the one that is ever ready to cause us pain, to sift us. But let us take note that he does not turn his back at us as this goes on. He keeps watch to be sure that what is of value is not lost.
Or may be we have come to the point of promotion, but like our Lord Jesus, lack the will power to match to the cross without prodding. He then moves the heart of a deluded disciple to lead the adversary to the place we have hidden to pray. In such state, our heart may bleed as the one we call friend betrays us. It is only time for promotion. Nothing of value shall be lost.
Go to your bible again and you will see that no grain has been lost. No sparrow falls to the ground without his consent. YOU ARE SAFE.
See you at Ogbomosho. 27-29 July, 2011.
Lest I forget, Pastor Joe from Gboko, Nigeria, pointed out that I have not explained the change of date on the blog. Some churches, especially RCCG, asked that we move the date by one week to allow them participate fully. Pastor A O Igeh has been very good to us. So we obliged. I guesed many people know that.
Please pray for the Calabar, and Accra conference.
You know I love you all.
